Hear ye! Hear ye!

I can hear! You may not realize how exciting this is to me... I didn't even realize how much I couldn't hear, until as of 2:15pm today, I could hear again... and oh so clearly!
I have issues with wax build up in my ears... I asked my best friend's future mother-in-law (2 weeks!) if she could flush my ears out for me because she is a nurse... She did and oh my gosh... everything is so crisp and clear! 
Even hearing my fingers type on my keyboard as I write this is making me trip out because of the sounds... 
Everything's been muffled and I've had times over the last month and at times I've hardly been able to hear at all. 
I feel like I have a whole new life. 
My own voice sounds new to me... this is weird and cool :-)

I just wanted to share my excitement... and let you know, I'll be able to hear you now... isn't life exciting?
1 Corinthians 12:15 - 31
If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
But now there are many members, but one body.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,
so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.
And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they?
All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?
But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.
